The article is devoted to the influence of one-bran diet on functioning adrenal gland. There was investigated a level of corticosteroid and 11-dehydrocorticosterone in blood and adrenal gland rats and also aldosterone and desoxycorticosterone in adrenal gland. The consumption of one-bran diet results in increase of a corticosterone level in blood and contents of 11-dehydrocorticosterone in adrenal gland and thus is a stressful factor. The transition of animals on to a vivarium standard diet does not remove this condition completely.
